Clusters undergo deformation as a result of the slowing down;they may also become epitaxial with the substrate and maintain their core-shell structure. A detailed analysis of the effects of the cluster-surface interaction is conducted over a realistic size and energy range, and a model is created to show how clusters accumulate. It is discovered that both the silver shells and the cobalt cluster cores exhibit limited epitaxy with the substrate, and that the contact produced is only a few atomic layers thick. The effect is higher for Ag shells than for Co cores, and it is not very energy dependent.展开更多

Generally, placing a restriction such as an orifice in the tube can curb the vibration. However, because of the nonlinear flow rate characteristics of an orifice, the gain of the pressure response changes with changing amplitude of the pressure vibration. This paper proposes a method that employs porous materials for improving the characteristics of the gas pressure control system on account of their linear flow rate characteristics. A static flow rate characteristics experiment was performed and the linear flow rate characteristics of the porous materials were confirmed. Then, a series of dynamic pressure response experiments, in which an isothermal chamber replaced the diaphragm chamber, were performed to examine the dynamic characteristics of the porous materials and an orifice. The experimental results revealed that the gain of the pressure response in the isothermal chamber with the porous materials remained unchanged irrespective of changes in the pressure vibration amplitude, and they were in close agreement with the simulation results. They also indicated that the pressure gain of porous materials is smaller than that of an orifice when the amplitude of pressure vibration is small. These results demonstrate that porous materials can be employed instead of an orifice in the gas governor unit in order to improve the unit’s stability.展开更多

In this study, the thermal properties transient automatic tester (HPP-F) is uesd to study the thermal conductivity of multiphase composite buffer/backfill material including the type B-Z and B-Z-P (Here B、Z、P represents bentonite、zeolite and pyrite respectively,the same as in the following.) in different dry density and moisture conditions. The results show that for the same moisture content (dry density), thermal conductivity of specimens increases as the dry density (moisture content) increases. As a result, the type B-Z-P which is highly compacted of 1.8 g/cm3 in dry density and 17.65% in moisture content performs well, it meets the requirements of the IAEA and is easy to be compacted ,so it can be recommend as a alternative material of high level radioactive waste disposal repository buffer/backfilling materials.展开更多
